Thank you for visiting our website. Een DIER Een VRIEND is a Dutch non-profit organisation for animal rights. Our name translates into ‘An Animal (A) Friend’, and our motto is ‘Because animals have rights!’

Because we are a national organisation, our website is in Dutch only. However, as we believe in working as effectively as possible for the animals, we are a member of several national as well as international partnerships. Below, you will find website links in English and other languages to befriended organisations.

Een DIER Een VRIEND is a proud member of the European Coalition to End Animal Experiments and the worldwide Open Wing Alliance. Our transatlantic partner in the Leaping Bunny program for cruelty-free products is the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics. If you want more information about an animal-friendly (or so-called vegan) lifestyle, watch this informative video by Joey Carbstrong and ‘Earthling Ed’, and try it for a while whilst getting help from a mentor at Challenge22 if you need it.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need help finding something or someone.

If you’re a member of the media and want to get in touch, please visit our Media Center to contact us.

For all animals,

Een DIER Een VRIEND
